A.P.P.L.E

There’s a girl who can sing so well with her unique singing skill and wonderful voice. She is Alan Dawa Dolma (阿兰.达瓦卓玛), a Tibetan girl, who currently expand her singing career in Japan. In a short time, she learn to speak and write Japanese, grab hold on the basic of the language and has already released 2 Japanese Single. Her well known J-pop song is Ashita e no Sanka (明日への讃歌), means Song Sung For Tomorrow.

She is really a true beauty. It’s really lucky for her, as a Tibetan girl, to start her career in Japan, although she needs to sing in a foreign language, she has great potential to become the star of tomorrow.

Just before she joined Avex Japan, she has released a Chinese album called “Sheng Sheng Zui Ru Lan” (声声醉如兰), a record of Alan’s version of several famous Chinese songs. However, I refer she sings the Chinese “folk song” back when she was in China. The song is “Tian Lu” (天路), means Road to Heaven.

You can see the potential in her voice in Tian Lu. That was really amazing. (Note: Not everyone will appreciate such music tune) This is Alan in her Tibetan costume singing Tian Lu.

This song is a laud for the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (Qingzang Railway) that the Tibetan people has been longing for many years. In the past, it was difficult for Tibetan people to get neccessary materials such as medicine and food from other parts of China. Many Tibetan students, if they want to get education in other places, have to spend nearly two to three months on the road traveling from Tibet to other parts of China. After the Qingzang Railway was built, the Tibetan people can now easily move to other parts of China. So the Tibetan people are very happy with that. This song expresses their happy feelings. By the way, the Qingzang Railway is one of the toughest projects in the world because there are many challenging engineering difficulties during the construction.

During her graduation from the China National Chinese Opera and Dance Drama Company (解放軍芸術学院) in 2006, she sang this song with Han Hong (韩红), another well known Chinese Tibetan singer who has amazing voice.

I think this song really trigger deeper thoughts, especially with the current issue of freeing Tibet.

Alan is a Tibetan being born and raised up in SiChuan (四川美人谷). Recently, SiChuan is suffering from the deadly earthquake disaster. Seeing her hometown suffers such tragic disaster, Alan felt really sad about it. She sings song which dedicated to this incident and help to raise fund for the victims.

The song is called “Ai Jiu Shi Shou” 爱就是手 or Love is Our Hands. There are 2 versions, Chinese and Japanese, both from Alan.

Chinese version - 爱就是手

Japanese version - 幸せの鐘
